PART 3
TRAINING PLANS
In the third and final part of this series designed to help you prepare for open water challenges ranging from one mile to the full 10km marathon distance, we are aiming to build on your awareness of sustainable pace to improve speed endurance. As with the last issue, swim the pacing sessions in open water if you prefer and have a measured distance to work with. Adapt the sets as you need, aiming to swim the main set distance in the measured distances you have available – whether it’s 400m, 500m, 750m, 800m, 1000m or 1500m loops. Alternatively, swim in an outdoor pool environment in your wetsuit (if you are planning to race in one).
